Quoted from "Wet_Boots" Use your controller to further pinpoint the exact replacement. A normally-open type of controller has a line feeding it pressurized water, usually through a filter. That controller then applies water pressure to the valves. A pin-type controller has no pressurized water feed. Note the two-digit coding on those valves. Electric is 06 - pin-type is 00 - normally open is 01. Toro controllers would use that same coding. I suppose Toro wouldn't approve but at some point the g...
Thank you for the quick reply. In a 2005 forum post here teh google picked up you described my system precisely - my valves use bleed water from their supply to feed their control port....the "pin" type? Is there another valve on the market I could drop in the obsolete one's place even if I have to tap the supply line ahead of the valve to pressurize the control line and sort of mimic the pin method? EDIT 1106242047 - Does this toro 250 look suitable?
Help! The hydraulic valve shown below is the last busted bit of a creaky sprinkler system. Who on earth made this valve? Is it repairable? This one of 6 valves in the system opens just fine but closing off the control port at the valve does not completely close the valve anymore. Thank you! Howard in Sarasota
